Install Ansible

The Ansible documentation has installation instructions. Note the control machine requirements: at the time of writing, Ansible required Python 2.6 or 2.7. (Support for Python 3 is a goal of Ansible 2.2.)

For example, you could create a special Python 2.x virtualenv named ansenv and then install Ansible in it:

cd repos/bigchaindb/ntools
virtualenv -p /usr/local/lib/python2.7.11/bin/python ansenv
source ansenv/bin/activate
pip install ansible
